THE FARMHOUSE
Part of the farmhouse is believed to have been constructed in the 1590's by Richard Loveys of Ogbeare Hall, North Tamerton, where the family resided for the next three generations. Of traditional construction beneath a slate roof, it has a fine southerly aspect overlooking a mature garden. It is set away from the holiday cottages and outbuildings and is approached by a separate entrance.
